YOUTHFUL Hinckley United suffered a tenth league defeat on the spin when going down 5-0 at Gainsborough Trinity in midweek but despite labouring seven points adrift at the foot of the table caretaker manager Carl Heggs believes there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

With fifth-placed Worcester City the visitors to the Greene King Stadium tomorrow, few would fancy the then avoiding another loss but Heggs says: “ I cannot speak highly enough of the players and if this was an under 21s league we would be top and everyone would be raving about us.

“Dean Thomas built a team of kids on the budget he was allowed, and Stuart Storer and myself are now trying to get us organised and playing attractive football.

“The building blocks are there and the club has bigger issues off the pitch which are more important at the moment. The nucleus of the squad is the future of Hinckley. I don’t want to lose these lads as they are terrific up and coming young players.”
